Ice Race Report

By SAC#60, Terry Dalton (from some emails he dsent me -ed.)

(From the 1st weekend) ...
Fields are kind of sparse, Larry (Kovacks) and I were duking it out pretty good and there is this young kid driving Russ Bonds MR2 that is making that thing go way better than anyone I've seen yet in it.Plus Larry's kid Michael was in there too. The Lobban boys were there with 2 cars,after studs, the celica goes like hell for the first few laps anyway. We had 3 new RWD cars and 2 more coming, next week.....

Tom Prentice moved over to the new Street Stud class, so out of rubber all together. I think we had 10 cars plus the 4wd, it was pretty hairy at times cuz depending on track conditions, we were mixing it up with those guys too......and they had about 10 or so I think. We were in traffic a lot, which I snookered Larry a couple times while in it. It was BRUTAL cold, even in the cars.....cold feet were the order of the day.....

Click For Large I won the first ever Action Front Data Recovery Labs Shootout at the end of the day Saturday ...hah hah in a RWD car......SACewe! Take the top 3 from each class and have at it for bragging rights and frankly a pretty nice trophy.....I won all the class 11 races and 2 of the 4 class 1 races, 2nd in the other two.....

Click For Large We finished up racing Saturday and head over to the cliffe for a few cocktails and benchracing ... you know where ya tell everyone how great I really am  :)
So Steffy and Mish order up a round of food and a pitcher. All seems right with the world at this point. Pitcher gets finished up, and so does the food and it's still early in the evening....then this brainwave rolls over us that Mish has not been exposed to the "Garbage pail of beer" that the rock has to offer......been awhile since we had one of those. "We'll have a Garbage pail of beer"  Steff orders. The waitress, says: "are you sure about that? ....the rest is, as we say history.....
Click For Large The night wrapped well before 11.....I must admit, Steff gave it his all to do the pail justice, in the end it though was the victor..... I hung out for a while, as Lee and his lovely girlfreind arrived from a refined evening of dining. Shortly thereafter, the motley crew of Todd McCall, McSwain, and Ryan the electrician showed, and the benchracing began anew...... Got up at 7:30 Sunday, went over to Toms yard and fired up the OV. Couldn't believe it, fired right up......I love that car....gotta run.

Angus Broom of Glasgow comes to the little lady of the house exclaiming, "Maggie, cud ya be sewin on a wee button that's come off of me fly? I canna button me pants."
Oh Angus ... I've got me hands in the dishpan, go up the stairs and see if Mrs. MacDonald could be helpin ya with it."
About 5 minutes later there's a terrible crash, a bang, a bit of yelling and the sound of a body falling doon the stairs. Walking back in the door with a blackened eye and a bloody nose comes Angus.
The little lady looks at him and says, "My god, what happened to ya?? Did you ask her like I told you?"
"Aye," says Angus. "I asked her to sew on the wee button an she did. Everything was goin fine, but when she bent doon to bite off the wee thread, Mr. MacDonald walked in .
